So after having a Rear 230 style wheel Diagnosed with a crack, I decided to ditch the OEM wheels and buy some aftermarket ones.
A quick call to Chris @ CM Wheels before Christmas, and I'd decided what to get.
A great service from the guys at CM Wheels btw, with them arriving on Christmas eve.

The wheels are VMR 710 style made by a company called PDW, and according to Chris they are the only TUV approved VMR style wheel available.
The rims are load rated to 800 odd kg each, so should prove to be strong enough for our dodgy roads!!
Specs are 8.5 J x 19 Front ET35 9.5J x 19 Rear ET33
I may fit some 10mm spacers to the front in the near future, just to fill the arches out.

Yeah, I know what you mean re: lowering. Not sure it's a true representation though as the ground wasn't level, the car has M Sport suspension on so doesn't look too bad on level ground. Definitely room for improvement though!
